I'm not mad at people at all. They can say what they want to say. I just don't have to agree, and that's what I'm doing.

 
I already said about activity and how important that is. For GM I need is a priority to draft most valuable player. Imagine SHL draft - dude with 350 TPE and a lot of banked TPE and dude with 110 TPE. Will you pick that dude with 350 TPE, full SHL bank account, who is active on forum and discord or dude with 110 TPE and good personality and is active on dicord? 

Well, I think you now the answer by yourself. As I said, I will be happy if Sawful will prove all sceptical people wrong. All people just say their opinions and majority thinks the same - Sawful is good, but there was better players to choose. Plus, I think it's better to be more realistic and sceptical than ultra positive and say ''all teams did right choices, they all won draft, they didn't made mistakes, all these draft players will be SHL Hall of Famers'' etc.

Jr's it's tough to scout and if you only do forum posts, tpe gain or bank account that's a good way to miss excellent folks and only focus on recreates (says the guy who just drafted 3 recreates).
All the power to Anchorage, I'll never shame a team for picking someone they like.

Tinke Jutila was selected 20th pick overall. Don't say you didn't pick him, because Anchorage didn't have multiple 1st round picks. No one had.

knights did! other than that, this is def an interesting clusterfuck. anchorage seems quite confident, and J drafts are notorious for being crapshoots. We'll probably look back on this in a couple seasons and laugh at how wrong we all were

That isnt just a fluff up for the guy, it's my tenth juniors draft and outside of maybe TML there's no one on the shl who have drafted more smjhl players than I have. First gens drafted by us now hold the head banker position, head shl pt position, head smjhl PT position and possibly shortly the head shl media position. We are pretty decent at this.

As a general rule unless a recreate is an absolutely top drawer person like Jenny, EJ or Toivo or they are an alumni I'll take a first gen over them.

There isn't anyone who have drafted more SMJHL players than you, but as we see... There are multiple dudes who got more Four Star Cups than you... I think that's more important than experience in draft.

That was my subjective opinion about draft. Your subjective opinion (and nothing more), is that Sawful was 2nd best defender in this league. It's good to be confident, but not good to be cocky. You need to understand that all rookies are rivals, but at the same time friends. We all have great chemistry in rookies discord and we are literally friends. You just need to understand aswell that it's only normal that people are sceptical. We are friends, but may be sceptical about each others activity, player etc. I may be sceptical, but if I will see that Sawful is worth of 2nd pick I will admit my mistake like a man and say that I was wrong. Humans make mistakes and we will see who of us made mistake later on this season.

Good luck in the season. Keep the same energy at the end of the season!

Will see at the end of the season. Keep the same energy at the end of the season. Hopefully, Armada will be at least a bit better than last season. Good luck!

Yeah. Team who didn't end up last season with 2nd worst SMJHL record.

1 of 10. I got one Four Star Cup as a player and co-GM back with my first player (S27). Was co-GM only 2 seasons - SMJHL player 4 seasons, If that's your case, then you just said that I am better GM than you. If then - thank you.

Dude you know what section i never read when looking at GM apps for the J? Ya the team performance one since no one in the league cares if you win a 4*, but they do care that they have active teammates in the SHL.

No one can still be sure if their draftees will be active when they will play on SHL, not SMJHL. He just flexed that he got 1 Four Star Cup in 10 GM seasons. I just answered with the same.

No he said look for the 4* Cups that the team you are on has won after you brought up 4* cups being an important metric for a J gm in an earlier post.
